Poet and historian Christopher T. George, British-born but now a U.S. citizen, regularly blogs on politics, current affairs, culture, and history. He brings an eclectic and unique viewpoint to all that he writes about.

Here is a new form that I am pioneering that grew directly out of the Wild Poetry Forum cinquain train see http://www.wildpoetryforum.com/discus/messages/25324/30418.html in Wild's community action section. The form comprises writing a number of linked cinquains, i.e., regularly structured cinquains of 2, 4, 6, 8, 2 syllables but that instead are patterned as 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, 4, 6, 8, 2, for as many links as you need, as follows--

Reunion

For Gary Blankenship

My heart, re-examined with each recollection from my past: all of my past loves and griefs I revisit every family reunion; greet the living and grieve for those of us now dead, relatives loved; their bodies may be gone but souls remain, forever in our lives. Here with us now, they sit, visit with us at times like this.
